You could get a 7800GT for around $400.

Fuck, forgot about that...

Go for an X800XT or X850XT then.

Or if want to stay on the cheaper side with similar performance get a 6800GT.

I need a need a new card cause im into game dev. When I can't test the levels I build, that is a problem. So I would need something that can support HDR. looks like I will go with the 6800GT or ultra. gt is less expensive and wont drop in much performance.

If you are looking at the 6800GT/U only then definitely get the GT. You can overclock the difference if those 4 fps really matter to you.
